The Lesser
Time for the monsters of this world
To fade away and be unheard
Time for the evil, time for the cruel
Broken by anger and it’s tools
Time for the greedy who don’t understand
Time for the masters killing this land
Time for the sleepers and gentle souls
Time for the wistful vision it holds
Time for the stars webbing the night
Time for the others left holding the light
Time for the stewards, time for the peace
Time for the lesser
To say the least
Imagine if you will
A minor miracle
A house upon a hill
Where we all belong
Time for the stars webbing the night
Time for the others left holding the light
Time for the stewards
Time for the peace
Time for the lesser
To say the least

REUNION
Around this town there’s nothing but the water
In it’s day it held a kind of shine
Lives were made for better if not richer
The world made sense
At least a breath at a time
Now the paint’s all peeling in twilight
The trees sway like nobody knows
I can see you the way I used to see you
In this used to be town
We used to know
Take me back I’ll meet you by the water
We can dance as if we aren’t old
We’ll speak like lovers to each other
Laugh at all the simple lies
We were told
The paint’s all peeling in twilight
The trees sway like nobody knows
We can marvel at being together
In this used to be town
We used to know
Around this town there’s nothing but the water
In it’s day it held a kind of shine
Lives were made for better if not richer
The world made sense
At least a breath at a time
Take me back
I’ll meet you by the water
Take me back
I’ll meet you by the water
In this used to be town
We used to know
In this used to be town

Sailors Brave

SAILORS BRAVE
Mother walks the shoreline
Sister mends a dress
The sailor’s son is dreaming of
A man he’s never met
Beware you sailors brave
As you ride out on your waves
Far away from shore
Where familiar is no more
Father was a Captain
When I was just a boy
Swallowed by the water cold
Before my first child’s toy
Beware you sailors brave
As you ride out on your waves
Far away from shore
Where familiar is no more
The sea is not a thing to be controlled
And the wind might never bring you home
Empty is the shoreline
Sister does not weep
The sailor’s son is miles away
And sleeps a dreamless sleep
Beware you sailors brave
As you ride out on your waves
The ones you leave behind
Might not feel you after time
The ones you leave behind
Might not feel you after time

Lonely Was His Name

LONELY WAS HIS NAME
I met a ghost on a coal black road
Lonely was his name
He stared at me with empty eyes
Lonely was his name
Who are you? I asked him twice
Lonely was his name
The sky grew dark with rain and ice
Lonely was his name
Excuse me sir
We must leave this world
And it’s pain
Your time is nigh
You have no choice
To remain
The cemetery calls us all
Lonely is its name
The jail is full from wall to wall
Lonely is its name
The homeless camp, the weathered tramp
Lonely is its name
The place you find yourself tonight
Lonely is its name
Excuse me sir
We must leave this world
And its pain
Your time is nigh
You have no choice
To remain
Echo chamber, silence falls
Lonely is its name
That wasn’t god’s voice after all
Lonely is it’s name
That wasn’t god’s voice after all
